Actor James Dean crossed over from movie heartthrob to cultural icon following his death at the age of 24 in an automobile accident. Kevin Dillon of "Entourage" fame made his mark as a young actor in tough-guy roles and, like Dean, shares a fondness for stylish cars. In this series, the crew of a sports-car dealership works to build Dillon a replica of a Porsche 550 Spyder, the same car Dean was driving on that fateful day of Sept. 30, 1955. The construction of the classic automobile is documented across the four episodes, from the crafting of body panels to the prepping of the engine and the application of the red tail stripes.
